The Ferret Scout Car in Canadian Service by Colin MacGregor Stevens

Chris, A big welcome to you to the forum...Also welcome to the wonderful world of being a Historical Military Vehicle owner...My 1954 Ferret MK1 is from the Canadian Army i have been trying to find out any previous crew member and any pictures of it....Enjoy retirement......

Welcome HOME......

What a wonderful present that will be....Remember to take extra batteries ect for your camera...

Your gun buggy sure is a beauty.....

What a mess..

Here is a place I purchased some camo from www.tridentmilitary.com

Anyone know if he still has the tank and if he still drives it like that ?

I put 13P plugs in mine and it starts and runs great now...My old plugs were carboned up and decades old...

Well i'm sorry for that....Can't help but think some of ours got loose and went over there...

Welcome to the forum.. Joe in USA

I honestly thought all the idiots were here in the USA......:shocked:

Welcome to the site....IF you ever come across a few railroad cars loaded with Ferret parts please contact me.Thanks. Seriously keep up the good work..we must preserve the history for the people that served... I hope someday to find out the history of my 1954 Canadian Army ferret MK1..

Jim, Have you ever found out the history of it ? Thanks, Joe in USA

Fellow forum members, One main thing this thread has showed us all is the great passion that we all have for our Historical Military Vehicles.... This is one great hobby that we have..Continue to pass on your learned experiences to others. The very best to all. Joe in the USA

Ferret Scout Cars in Detail by Kevin Browne & Frantisek Koran

Here is something really interesting for great backyard mechanics like yourself..Go on Youtube and enter ARMY TANKS STUCK IN MUD...There are a few that people pull out of ponds after 60 plus years of being under water and mud then get the tanks going !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Really great mechanics.

Really interesting...Seems like you could write a very interesting book about your adventures...It is well known about the new generation of young terrorists in that Country....Again very glad you got out when you did....A person can only temp fate so many times in life....

Tim, In your opinion who do you think was the last to have control and drive this T34 ? Was it a designated Army or terrorists that won it in battle...What was the story if any ? Thanks, Joe in USA about 1 hour outside the terrorist city of Chicago

In the 50's and especially the 60's here in the USA it was the trend to not to be seen with anything with rust...Everybody wanted modern things....That guy that bought all those tanks took a tremendous risk as everybody here wanted to just forget about the WW2 and the Korean War..The thing here was to take a car drive in the country and have picnics... I grew up in the Chicago area with a lot of steel mills..I hate to think about any nice tanks being melted down for steel.. The other article shows grocery carts on a track in an underground tunnel....I remember that at the one grocery store....It was amazing to see how busy the store was and for people to wait to have their shopping cart come up out of the tunnel... Again a superb article on the tanks...I hope every tank lover can see that article... Thank you for posting it...

That article about the tanks was awesome...I just can't imagine the work that was needed to do all of that... Thank you..
